Introduction
Medication may not necessarily cure mammary duct ectasia; treatment decisions should be based on the severity of the condition. If the mammary duct ectasia is mild and there is no breast infection, the condition usually improves with medication. However, if the condition is more severe, with symptoms such as breast infection, breast pain, swelling, tenderness, or nipple discharge already present,
Breast duct dilation may not necessarily improve with medication alone; the outcome depends on the severity of the condition.
1. Can improve
If the breast duct dilation is mild and there is no sign of breast infection, the condition usually improves with medication.
2. May not improve
If the breast duct dilation is severe, accompanied by breast infection, pain, swelling, or nipple discharge, medication alone is generally insufficient to resolve the condition. It is important to seek timely treatment at a正规 medical institution and consult with a qualified physician who may recommend surgical intervention. Delayed treatment may lead to malignant changes.
During treatment, maintain a light diet and avoid spicy foods.
